DRIVE CHAIN LUBRICATION/
STEERING HEAD ADJUSTMENT
DRIVE CHAIN LUBRICATION
The chain consists of many parts which
work against each other. If the chain is not
maintained properly, it will wear out rap-
idly, therefore, form the habit of periodi-
cally servicing the chain. This service is
especially necessary when riding in dusty
conditions.
This motorcycle has a drive chain with
small rubber O-rings between the chain
plates.
Steam cleaning, high-pressure washes, and
certain solvents can damage these O-rings.
Use only kerosene to clean the drive chain.
Wipe it dry, and thoroughly lubricate it with
SAE 30 ~ 50W motor oil. Do not use any
other lubricants on the drive chain. They
may contain solvents that could damage
the O-rings 1.
